Historical Fiction

 

 

Paris 1980

Who is Luc Kasten? A wealthy French industrialist? A wanted man? A Jew from
Avignon who has led a forged life? Or is he all three? Now, 35 years after
the end of WWII, he is ready to unburden himself and hires a veteran
journalist, Diane Jameson, to write his memoir. But years of hiding his
identity make him hesitate to share his grim secret. A chance encounter with
a past enemy spurs him to violence, and Diane, who finds herself falling in
love with him, joins Kasten in his struggle to outwit the man who can expose
him. What ensues is a cat-and-mouse thriller and a love story set against
the somber background of France during and after WWII.

moving story of a woman whose memories open so many old wounds.” ~
